THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921. Capt. Knox, of Salvation Army, Tells of Im posters Here THE BOOK OF DEBORAH Ann'. “Showing off" To Jim Cou.e. Him Further Injury. Never had I se en Ann sit down properly. She always perched on her crossed feet like a tailor or pos ed on a corner of a table like a dangling and swinging a silk-clad ankle. When she had tired of prancing through her most dar ing dance steps she suddenly sprang to the arm of Jim's chair and col lapsed as if she were exhausted. It was all part of her game. » could see, all for the effect upon Van. Ann had forgotten every thing but her wicked part as “wo rn. =..= .U.O ueen picKing t J’ e sla '' e , and .temptress.” She cotton, getting more than 100 pounds i C hrc S h ,f r w , e weight on her hus- per day.. She is no good and has I ba ?? s s h °ulder, •Lm turned white—his lips set in a hrad line. “Ann! Now you’ve done it. Ann —don’t!" he exclaimed, trying to push her from him. I hurried to ward him—I could almost feel his Captain Luella Knox, of the Sal vation Army, has asked the Times- Recorder to sound another warning to the charitably inclined of Ameri- cus, to investigate before they give. “Recentlv there has been a wo- JL man going the rounds,” said Capt. ®J»nox,, “begging for food, money - -r *nd clothing. She said she had seen me and that I had given her 10 cents. She poses as a cripple and claims to have a little girl. After a three- day search I located this woman. She is neither sick nor a cripple; she has no little girl; she has been picking gone under more than one name. “If the people of Americus and Sumter county will first notify either Mrs. C. J. Sherlock or me, and let us investigate, we will save them from these imposters. .... “There has been entirely too much po ?, r , fr " c f“ re ' 1 bon , es srating. seine here recently.

With .... winter almost here and indications of a great deal of unemployment, the people are going to be taxed in car ing for those who deserve help— those whom we must help—without being imposed upon by professional beggars and dead-beats and those too lazy to hel" themselves.’* have known!” I thought. “That! ar, y w here. wretched child can develop morel misery—for others—in a shorter time than any person I ever saw never thought at all about poor Jim!” “Oh-h-h-h—” Ann shrieked. Then she rushed out of the room. I couldn’t tell whether she intended to express contrition and remorse or whether her shriek meant re bellion. And I didn’t care. The first thing poor Jimsy asked when he came out of his faint was: “Where’s Ann?” I set out to round her up and bring her —in I knew that her poor hus band was going to apoligize for his impatience. Absurd — highly, but it was his way. I was glad not to find Ann after hunting a quarter of an hour. I wanted Jim to sleep, to forget to apologize. That was Ann’s duty. When Ann couldn’t be found af ter half an hour, the nurse explain ed to Jim that she was bathing and grooming and dressing for the eve ning. ' And so Jim fell into a sleep which lasted until midnight. For that his relatives were grateful. His child-wife was not to be found spent the week-end with her parents here. _ H. J.

Jim’s face was drawn with pain, his lips tight as if to keep from crv ing out, his pallor became ghastly and he “Jumped into his nurse’s arms. He had fainted, With Van’s help, he was lifted in to bed. His surgeon was summon ed. I had to tell him what had hap pened. When I came back to Ann, she was weeping. She looked so absurd with her tears and her beads that I spoke brutally: “To nuote your husband, you've done it!” “What have I dona?” in a hard little voice. / “Snapped the fracture!” “Will he be long getting well?” “All to go through again—you oucrht to know!” At this Ann wailed: “I'm sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Nobody knows how sorry T am! I’m always doine ju«t the one thing I wouldn’t do for all the world! Luck Is always against meP* ,c Use your brains and your luck will improve!” T threw her way. “Of course vou think of a catty speech—you always do — when I need sympathy!” “You need sense, not sympathyP T stormed. “You were showing off to Van—I know—I could see—you til# IPs*A Good Sign I that your liver’s out of order and your blood's I weak and watery, wheu you wake ujjwith an I awful tosto in your mouth" and about as j I tired as when you went to bed.” Better get I busy with Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup.
